Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled: Ranking Every Character From Worst To Best
4. N. Gin
N. Gin was a middle of the road character in the original game, dragged down largely by disappointment that there was no mech presence for him as there was in his boss battles. However, with the remake, disappointment has disappeared; we all know what we’re getting.
That opens the door for N. Gin to become a dark horse of popularity.
As an accelerator, he’s in a popular class, viable through Adventure Mode and online, and his personality has been dialled up here to make it more fun too. Quietly, and without any kind of stat boost, N. Gin is probably the most improved character between Crash Team Racing and Nitro Fueled.
His unlockable skins are some of the best in the game. Beenox could have played safe and just gone for colour swaps or more metal, but instead we get him in his ballerina outfit; a reference to the less popular Tag Team Racing game. While that game bats you over the head with quote unquote 'humour', Nitro Fueled is much more natural.
With N. Gin, perhaps more than any other character, it’s clear this game has been a labour of love.
